The HunchBack of Notre Dame  is coming to WHS this fall!
A note from Kara Sullivan, the Drama Director at WHS:
Hi everyone! I cannot believe that we are starting to think about the 2019/2020 WHS season! I am so excited! I am so happy to have a year under my belt and I am excited for the year ahead!  Auditions for Hunchback of Notre Dame will be here before we know it! This year we have a Signup Genius for Choral Auditions and a Signup Genius for Dance Auditions. For Choral, you need to prepare 18 bars of a song in the style of the show. The links below will give you some ideas. Please do not prepare a song from the show. (However, you should know the music should you be called back!)  Sign up for 1 ten minute slot for Choral and 1 forty five minute slot for dance. There are two links...make sure that you sign up in both. (choral and dance).  

The music auditions will take place on September 3-6. The dance auditions will be on September 3 & 4.

There will be an Audition workshop on Thursday, August 29th from 2:30-4 in the Little Theatre. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, get ideas and meet fellow thespians!

Please contact me should you have any questions!
Song ideas:  Songs link 1  and  Songs link 2
